Less dating and more hiking

“no she didn't hike, but she had hiking potential. Although, I think my hiking habits freaked her out. Oh well.

I think it is a good thing. We weren't seeing eachother for long, and I could tell it wasn't going to go anywhere. But, it still sucks to get dumped. And it re-affirms how much dating can suck.

Sometimes, it just doesn't make sense. So frustrating.

But now I can look forward to lots of hiking and not have to worry about finding time/weekends for a girlfriend.

Woohoo”

“Anybody have these?

”

“hmmmm... If they spontaneously change color like that while you're hiking I say get 'em!

I think I feel a quick trip to REI comin' on now.

“ahhh Bison beat me to that...I was gonna say the same thing.”

“Please report to the "shoes are da bomb thread" LOL.

I like your attitude....wallowing never got anybody anything. Let it slide, move on---you'll be much happier.”

“Dang, I must be trippin'. I could swear those boots are changing colors. ;-)”

“I tell ya, women hafta have really big boobs to make it worth losing a step on the trail. Otherwise, hike on.”

“There must be something wrong with me. I'm still married to my 1st high school sweetheart (35yrs)& my daughter's family live around the corner.”

“#&%!$! Get your Lucky/happy ass out of here! :P”

“dang, REI does not carry the boots I want. But the local outfitter does, but they close at 7. Dammit Dammit Dammit”

“See, that's what you get for living out there... it's only 5:30 here...”

“Dating? What's that?

Give me hiking any day over dating. It's much simpler :-)”

“Damn ENS....dumped by a girl and shot down by the boot salesperson all in the same day! May I suggest a beer?”

“damn... I think I may have to go get a beer.”

“Cheapshot No. 2 retracted.

“Dunno...but for that price, the gear is probably going to be more reliable than the girl. ;)”

“newgirl dumped me and she didn't even know we were dating. AmyG went off to South America or some place and met another guy. Got married.

I am always the last to know.”

“Could've been worse...u could've wasted time trying to get her into backpacking...than after a couple of month of hard work, she'd dump yer ass...

now that would suck! At least u didn't waste any time.

Sorry to hear that thou! :(”

“nah, there is no time to wallow when there is hiking to be done. Must plan trips, climb mountains and purchase vast quantities of gear. There is simply no time to lose.”

That is exactly what I thought you would say! Hike on ENS, the rest is details!”

“see link and decide if the description fits your personality - if so give up on dating - it ain't going to ever work out”

“robert service...sigh, i love him :)


he's sooo dreamy :)”

“Hey ENS I believe the attick sale at REI is coming up in a week or so..... I think it's destiny. I like REI, They understand me there : )”

“ha, I might be making a trip down to Timmonium soon.

MarkO, we may have to meet up for a beer too.”

“Im sure you could find the Rei in College park blindfolded”

“the Timmonium Store is the closest one to me now and it is atleast an hour away. When I lived in College Park, I went to the REI there all the time. It's not the best REI, but even the worst REI is still a good gear store.

I may pop down there on Thursday night after work (Timmonium), are you able to get up that way Jack?”

“What time you planning on being up there. I have a REI cift card burning a hole in my pocket.”

“ENS - Bummer...think of all the nice people on the trail!”

“yeah, I have my eyes open, Phil.

-

Jack, I'll probably get there around 6.”

“Totally doable. As you know I'll have to leave Wednesday to beat the traffic on 295 to Balt. Did you hear 295N was shut down entirely for 2 days due to a sink hole? What a nightmare.”

“I'll probably be there for a while though. That is a pretty nice store.”

“not as nice as the one in Denver, on the Platte.........


three stories

bike path outside

climbing wall

indoor creek in which to try out water filters

indoor synthetic trail to try out boots”

“hey roam...wanna meet in denver or ya think that's too much trouble???

I'll be in Denver 6:42PM on the 14th, and will be departing at 9:10PM the same day.

Just thought I'll let u know 'cus we talked about it earlier.

email me or IM me tomorrow...I'll be going to bed now. NIGHT!!!! Don't let the bet bugs bite ya. [what are bet bugs anyway?]”

“gemini, you are awesome.”

“REI needs to open up a store around Glens Falls, NY, and cash in on the Adirondacks.

Anywhoo, forget the woman -- I think I see the rest of the Greats in the crystal ball. Now go, before I find out my crystal ball is lying to me...”

“ahhhh, is the Devils Path Trip evolving?”

“gemini, you crack me up. bed bugs, girl. they're bed bugs. little critters that live in the mattresses of unsanitary establishments.”

“lol, they live in ALL establishments Ruby....

sorry, but its a fact. the better ones just don't let them get large enough for us to really take much notice of.

....that Gemini, she's soooo dreamy.....”

“lately it's been all hiking and no dating for me lately - it is easier than dealing with the heartache that always comes from dating.

I feel for you earthnsky - just keep hiking”

“i have to agree with PS

Anywhoo, forget the woman -- I think I see the rest of the Greats in the crystal ball.

lol
you guys are killing me
way to lift the spirits :)”

“"no she didn't hike, but she had hiking potential. Although, I think my hiking habits freaked her out. Oh well."

Uh huh, hangin' out and hikin' with the likes of Gemini and Pennsy could cause anyone's SO to bolt!!”

“ENS, you go through woman faster then you go through boots!”

“Yeah really, "bet bugs"......Gemmie does crack me up!!

Roam Round, is that you?
From Carolina to Colorado.......I think there's a song there.

Hey ENS, just give me a ring when you're headed for Timonium.

Eastern Mountain Sports is about a mile north just off I-83 on Padonia Road.

Hudson Trail Outfitters is in beautiful downtown Towson, as well.”

“Yo MarkO! Its me fo sho!

'''' heads Carolina.... tails Colorado....'''

ok, not quite, but its close!”

“Could've been worse...u could've wasted time trying to get her into backpacking...than after a couple of month of hard work, she'd dump yer ass...

now that would suck! At least u didn't waste any time.

Hey Gem, what would be worse is if she dumped him for one of his backpacking friends. That would make for some great conversation around a fire...lol”

“That would be the schit!”

“Hiking good. Dating bad. A mountain never gets mad at you if you forget to call it.”

“And a mountain is always in the mood for mountin'.”

“LOL !! above or below the tree line ?”

“the one's I've known don't really care....”
